If nothing has changed in terms of results for Rennes, it's something else regarding the squad. Samba and Fofana notably arrived, pushing certain elements towards the exit such as goalkeeper Gauthier Gallon. A boon for other Ligue 1 clubs.
A revolution to avoid purgatory. In crisis, Stade Rennais is very active in the transfer window. The appointment of Jorge Sampaoli to the bench logically preceded the arrival of several major recruits. The Bretons broke the bank to bring Brice Samba in goal and Seko Fofana in midfield. Enough to shake up the starting eleven and even the Rennes squad. If some players like Steve Mandanda lost their starting place, others were even shown the exit door. Four players were removed from the professional group in order to be sold: Gauthier Gallon, Baptiste Santamaria, Albert Gronbaek and Glen Kamara.
Gallon in Montpellier’s viewfinder
A controversial loft but an opportunity to seize nonetheless for these players. This is the case of Gauthier Gallon, who has become Rennes' third goalkeeper behind Brice Samba and Steve Mandanda. With only Ligue 1 left for Rennes, we should not see the 31-year-old goalkeeper again with the Rouge et Noir this season. Any benefit for Montpellier according to the insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter.
-On X, he affirms that the current red lantern of L1 is targeting Gallon in the transfer window. Indeed, the holder of the position Benjamin Lecomte is close to joining the Saudi championship and the formation of Al-Shabab. Gauthier Gallon is in competition with Clermont's Senegalese goalkeeper Mory Diaw, also targeted by MHSC recruiters. Two inexpensive avenues for Montpellier, which applauds the Rennes sales with both hands.
